Fissile Materials in a Glass, Darkly

Technical and Policy Aspects of the Disposition of Plutonium and Highly Enriched Uranium

By Arjun Makhijani, Ph.D. and Annie Makhijani

IEER Press, 1995 — 126 pages, paperback

IEER’s report analyzes the options for disposition of plutonium and highly enriched uranium and recommends policies designed to put these materials into non-weapons-usable forms as rapidly as possible. It urges that the U.S. adopt vitrification of plutonium as its disposition option (rather than using it in reactors) in order that the U.S. may persuade countries still separating plutonium from civilian spent fuel to stop doing so.
